Got a weichers carbon brace for mine. Terrific piece of kit. Really improved front end handling.

I have a Weichers sport racing, got it from Ebay Germany. All in inc postage was around £100.

Differences appear to be in design only. Go for one which uses all 3 fixings on the Strut, mine uses 2 and still works fine but 3 should be better.

Front Strong Strut (A sponsor of the forum) on my ///M.

Probably the most expensive, but IMO the best quality you can get. I also think looks like stock.

The front and rear Strong struts are the Biz-but so is the price!!Some owners dont always have the ££££ss to invest in them.I have a front E-Tec which was the very first "Mod" I ever brought, best £110 I ever spent on keeping me on the"Straight & Narrow" :shock:
